Review: Ninja Tune veterans Letherette, AKA Richard Roberts and Andrew Harber, drop a long-player on their own Wulf label that packs 19 "full-length" tracks, plus the same 19 cuts served up as one continuous DJ mix. Those quote marks are there because "full-length", in this instance, means anything from 1:07 to 2:35 - really these are more just skits, sketches or interludes than they are "tracks" or "songs". But with the 19 ranging stylistically from smoky, soulful jazz to wonky, funked-out hip-hop, via laidback Balearica and moody downtempo bizniss galore, creative/battle DJs will find much to work with here, while the mixed version will make a fantastic summer BBQ soundtrack for the rest of us.

Review: Two years ago, Letherette launched the Mander House series via a limited-edition cassette of sweaty, hip-house influenced workouts. This belated follow-up is similarly sample based but stylistically a little different, with the sometime Ninja Tune-signed duo offering up a mixture of dusty deep house, loopy disco-house box jams and hazy, loose-limbed jazz-house. Highlights include the dewy-eyed female vocal samples, swirling strings and jazz-fired house drums of 'Break My Heart', the R&B-sampling peak-time bump of 'Too Much' (think Seven Davis Jr, and you're close), the chopped and screwed heaviness of 'I Don't Need You' and the soaring, Soundstream style disco-house weightiness of 'Triple'.

Review: To celebrate notching up ten years in the game, London blog and party-turned-record label SlothBoogie has decided to offer-up their most ambitious release to date: an epic collection of previously unheard cuts from a mixture of imprint regulars and like-minded friends. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, with highlights including the sparkling jazz-funk-meets-deep house sunshine of Levan's "U R Beautiful In The Face", the deep, breakbeat-driven dreaminess of Philippa's "That's What I Mean By Free", the piano solo-heavy disco-house bump of Leatherette's "Your Love", and the dub disco-meets-acid house heaviness of "Rewind Run" by Pablot. Throw in similarly impressive contributions from Kassian, Luvless, Casino Times and Soul Wun (the classic jazz-house of "Thank You, St Germain") and you have a must-have collection.

Review: Dusty, jazzy lo-fi grooves are the stock-in-trade of Wolverhampton-based duo Letherette, known to their mums and the taxman as Richard Roberts and Andrew Haber. Since producing three albums for Ninja Tune in the mid-2010s they've mostly focused on their 'Brown Lounge' mixtape series, a strategy that's presumably been working as they're now up to the fifth installment in just two years! As they rattle through 20 tracks in just over 40 minutes it's hard not to sometimes feel it would've been nice if a few of the featured sketches and scribbles had been fleshed out a little more, but this is something of a headnodder's delight nonetheless.

Review: Some six months on from the launch of their "Mander House" series of club-ready reworks, mixing tools and beats tracks, sometime Ninja Tune twosome Letherette are ready to unleash a second volume. As you'd expect, highlights are plentiful, from the cut-up blues-house bounce of "Oh Lord" and strutting, bass-heavy deep house hypnotism of "Chains", to the loopy jazz-funk-goes-disco-house bump of "Tell Me That You Like It". The EP also boasts two versions of '80s disco revision "Just For You". The first is a swinging, sun-kissed, loved-up chunk of tactile house goodness, while the second - a "Live Edit" - is a much more locked-in, percussion-heavy roller that giddily emphasizes a rubbery bassline and rush-inducing breakdowns.

Review: Wolverhampton duo Letherette are two childhood friends with a current of empathy between them so strong that they seem more like brothers. The Ninja Tune staples return to their Wulf imprint, this time with Mander House Volume 1. With the essence very much akin to their Brown Lounge beat series, Mander House sees Andy Harber and Richard Roberts up the tempo. They're all relatively short tracks which are great to use as tools or for looping and assembled like a collage - using an extensive collection of samples from dance music's yesteryear. There's one very familiar hook on the infectious house of "Major" or the lo-slung disco groove of "Baby Who" through to the melancholic and bittersweet dustiness of "I Do".

Review: Comprised of Andy Harber and Richard Roberts, Letherette have become staples of Ninja Tune - having released their third album on the imprint with 2016's Last Night On The Planet. Having recently created their own Wulf imprint (probably named after the stomping ground of Wolverhampton), Brown Lounge Vol 1 was the first Letherette album in the Brown Lounge series written between 2006 and 2008. Many of these tracks first appeared as excerpts during the heyday of Myspace and bootleg copies could be found floating around on Youtube and other sights. This is where it all began and they are pleased to announce the album will be available, digitally, for the very first time on their own imprint. There's a treasure trove of lo-slung, neon-lit and disco-tinged Balearic oddities on offer, in addition to a few blunted hip-hop joints for good measure. They are perfect as DJ tools or for looping for any serious DJs ergonomic pleasure.

Review: Wolverhampton's Letherette (aka Richard Roberts and Andrew Harber) have released a lot of work through Ninja Tune, but now they release solely through their own Wulf label. There are four full length tunes here, with an additional skit, the swirly whirly, "Wet Fig" tagged on. The overall vibe is half awake soulful house: the first tune "Feel It' includes warm chiming piano loops, thumping raw drums and out of focus vocals. Elsewhere "Flowatch", samples a cool 80s soul riff, "Side Fade" is deep 'n' distant tech-house and "Give My Love" builds into delirious New York garage from sparse beginnings.

Review: Wolverhampton based duo Richard Roberts and Andrew Harber aka Letherette return on Ninja Tune with their new full length: a 40-minute mix of previously unreleased productions have been unearthed in conjunction with their recently released second album for "Last Night On The Planet". This collection which explores ambient and deeper beats territory was originally released on a limited run cassette, but will see a digital release in 2017. Harber has stated that the tracks were "saturated onto cassette (Marantz CP430) a number of times to give it a crusty, aged and brittle edge, the playlist was conceived on a typically bleak night-bus ride through Birmingham."
